We have at various times had 3 to 4 different diets going in the house and I&#39;ve had to make multiple meals for one evening. It was depressing. But your cookbook is usually a safe for everyone and we love everything we&#39;ve made from it, and that&#39;s quite a bit! <br /><br />My question is about your ice cream though...I&#39;ve made the mint chocolate chip many times and will be trying this one very soon. It&#39;s great right out of the ice cream maker but the next day, it&#39;s like a rock...you say to thaw it for 2 hours before serving -- would that be in the fridge? Is there any way to make a servable right out of the freezer ice cream that is made from a coconut base? <br /><br />And yes, we use canned full fat coconut milk...I&#39;ve even tried modifying the recipe by using only the cream from one can and discarding the water -- it didn&#39;t help though!

I have used your recipe in my Cuisinart Ice Cream maker, but am experimenting to see if I could get rid of it. I was wondering if I froze the coconut milk from one of the cans, if I could just make it in the Vita-Mix. That would approximate the 1 part liquid, 3 parts frozen fruit/liquid they suggest. Do you think the ice cream maker makes a superior tasting ice cream?

But, I am worried about calories per serving when I make this for others. I know coconut milks can be pretty heft. I do understand that the creamier it is the less you&#39;ll need of it to satisfy. I don&#39;t know that other will be willing to do 1/4 or 1/2 of a cup though, LOL! :)<br /><br />So my question is have you tried it/would you recommend diluting the full fat coconut milk by even 1/3 with water? Any suggestions you have would be great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-92104714225381655362011-05-30T12:43:11.964-07:002011-05-30T12:43:11.964-07:00Anon- I have never used silk coconut milk so not s...Anon- I have never used silk coconut milk so not sure how it would work. We use the 14.5 ounce cans for this ice cream recipe. I like the brand Native Forest organic coconut milk, but whatever you can find will surely work. The fat at the top of the can is what helps to make the ice cream &quot;creamy.&quot;<br /><br />Enjoy! :)Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04581435966686625594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-27499116482006044912011-05-30T10:36:32.256-07:002011-05-30T10:36:32.256-07:00I can&#39;t wait to try this recipe.

It&#39;s a very unfortunate combination! But this sounds wonderful. I&#39;m kinda new to coconut milk though and limited on options. I can get the Silk coconut milk (it has very recently become available in my area!!) and I can get small cans of coconut milk that has the thick cream on top. What size can did you use? Does the Silk coconut milk work just as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-33616770635666531572011-05-07T11:52:26.822-07:002011-05-07T11:52:26.822-07:00We made this last night using mixed berries, but m...We made this last night using mixed berries, but my ice cream maker wasn&#39;t as cold as it needed to be, so it didn&#39;t freeze correctly.

We used Coconut beverage (like soy milk), we had this on hand as we have 3 of us dairy free. We did use the agave, and I added the seeds from a real vanilla bean as well as dark chocolate chips from Whole Foods. All of us loved it, even those in our family who can eat the &quot;real&quot; stuff!
